“Lee is the perfect guide”
Lee was the perfect guide and was very accommodating with our requests from commencement time to where we did and did not want to go.

Dear Linc Family, Thank you very much for your great review! It was a delight to read your review. Have a nice trip in Vietnam! Best wishes! Lee
“3 Generations”
I took my parents back to Vietnam for the first time in over 30 years, along with my own 2 kids for the first time. Kids loved Lee and my parents loved talking to Lee about their old country. He spoke both Vietnamese and English for the kids. Lee was very accommodating, and waited over an hour and a half for us the first day as our plane was late. We ended up taking two tours with Lee over two days...

Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Full Day from Ho Chi Minh
“Great Excursion, Great Guide”
The excursion to the tunnels and the Mekong was very well planned out. Lee did a great job in structuring the excursion ensuring that our group of 4 were well isolated from the many large tour buses also visiting the tunnels. Lee's historical knowledge is excellent. The retelling of his father's stories from when his father was involved fighting for his country were extremely interesting. Lunch in the Mekong was most enjoyable, as was the boat rides and the visit to the coconut candy factory. Thank-you Lee for making the day very memorable.
